Cal Ripken Jr. is great for being a model baseball player, not for doing anything god-like, like hitting 60 or more home runs, or throwing a perfect game. They made a big deal about him playing in this huge streak of games and beating Gehrig's streak, but the difference is that Lou Gehrig is Lou Gehrig. The streak is sorta tertiary to everything that Lou Gehrig was, yes, he played everyday, but he played every fucking day with a crippled body, and still batted .340, 493 hr. Cal Ripken was the son of a baseball player, good guy, worked hard, kept in shape, ate his vitamins and said his prayers. Basically, Cal Ripken is one of those guys who followed Hulk Hogan's advice and turned out well, but that will never make him Hulk Hogan.

Wait, you just compared a real proessional athlete to Hulk Hogan? I never liked the way Ripken put himself and the streak ahead of his team and winning, but that comparison is just wacky!

I remember when the Doger's Steve Garvey, who had a nice run going, pulled that stunt a couple of times. Regarding Cal Ripken's playing every inning: Since 1979 I have watched, listened to almost every Oriole game, including the games Ripken played in, including his first appearance as a pinch runner at second base. He almost never came out-never. If you have the time and patience, you can access this website for the absolute answer. One of the things always talked about during the streak was that Ripken had in fact played more compltet games than Gehrig did:</p><p><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/">http://www.baseball-reference.com/</a></p><p>Regarding his daddy being the manager, that was for a relative brief time, and is really insulting to his deceased father and to a class like Cal to imply that he played because of nepotism. The thing with Ripken, no matter how much you want to hate this guy, it's almost impossible because he is such a genuinely good guy. I hope, however, to see a Death Metal Ripken soon.....</p>

Cal Ripken Jr. knocks up chicks and then forces them to have abortions just so he can eat the fetuses. THAT is is the secret of the streak. Allegedly.<br />

Soccer rules. baseball is dying. World Cup vs. World Series? Please. Typical American arrogance that we consider a national championship a world championship. If you win world cup, you have qualified over a 4 year period and have played the best in the world. Over 2 billion people will be glued to their television sets this summer, inclduing me. Landon and the boys (and hopefully Ben Olson) will have to play their best to survive their death draw. So soccer in this thread? yes. And may I begin: Eddie Pope, pedophile? Yes! </p>

Let's not do Soccer jokes. I don't know anything about it and neither does the rest of the country because it's gay.

You sir, are an American sports elitist, a U.S. sports snob. Lets talk about the second most popular sport in the U.S. ice skating. Comfortable now? That UP your ALLEY?</p>
